Chapter 636

Anastasia decided not to nap. She sat down in front of the genealogy book to read about the lineage
history of the Presgrave Family. By writing down important information, Old Madam Presgrave helped
her to remember the influences and relationships of each family.

After looking at it for a while, she fell asleep on the couch because reading the book was too
exhausting…

When Elliot got home in the evening, he saw her sleeping on the couch. She held the book close to her
chest and had her eyebrows slightly raised. He thought it was both disheartening and funny.

He sat quietly next to her and held her to his chest when he saw she was sleeping in an awkward
position against the couch. As she slept in his arms, he leaned down and kissed her on the forehead.

“How did the fishing go?” Anastasia asked as she smiled and gently opened her lovely, dreamy eyes to
catch his gaze.

Elliot curled his lips into a grin, obviously pleased with the outcome. “You may cat the salmon your
husband caught tonight.”

“Did Jared have fun?”

“He was really happy, and as soon as he got off the boat, he fell asleep.”

Anastasia also believed that her son would have fun. Elliot took the genealogy book out of her hands and
told her, “Don’t read it if you don’t want to. Let me take care of the family household matters.”

She shook her head. “No. You are managing the external affairs, and I will be handling the family
household matters.”



This has warmed Elliot’s heart since his wife had already considered ways to lessen his responsibility.
While stroking her hair, he said, “Don’t worry too much.”

“Oh, yeah! I spoke with a girl from the Presgraves today. Her name is Lorelai, and I heard that you used
to play with her when you were younger. Both of you must be very close to each other.” With a grin on
her face, Anastasia asked..

“Sweetheart, we’ve known each other. since we were children. However, she is like my sister to me in my
heart; other than that, we have no other kind of bond.” Elliot’s eyes widened with anxiety as he cupped
her face with his hand.

‘Really? She raised her voice unintentionally to recall, ‘You do not seem to be related to her by blood!
What if she is interested in you?”

When he heard that, he focused his gaze on her and declared firmly, ‘Have faith in me, Mrs. Presgrave. I
won’t even look at another woman but you and my son.”

Anastasia raised her head to kiss his cheek and said with satisfaction, “Okay, I take your word for it.”

Elliot had decided to avoid having close contact with Lorelai in the future to avoid his wife’s jealousy, and
he didn’t want Anastasia to misinterpret things.

Lorelai was sitting on her villa’s balcony, looking through a magazine and admiring the jewelry in it. She
was still shocked; it seemed that the future Young Mistress of the Presgrave Family was both beautiful
and very talented.

Villa No. 58.

Today, Sophia was very well-behaved. Besides checking her phone, she only went downstairs for her
food. As Arthur was very particular about what he ate, he had a personal chef to prepare their meals.



As tomorrow was the wedding, she wanted to catch a glimpse of the bride and groom. As soon as she
left the table, she saw the man on the opposite side raising his eyebrow to ask, “Do you have a formal
gown for tomorrow?”

A gown?” She blinked, wondering as to where she would get a gown.

“I don’t have a gown. All I have are the dresses I wear most of the time,” Sophia answered honestly.

“You are accompanying me to the wedding tomorrow as my partner, so make sure not to embarrass me.”
Once again, Arthur made his statement.

She responded with, any sentiments, “If you think I’m an embarrassment, just let me stay in the villa!” He
had already made her his partner against her will, and now he wanted her to dress nicely.

His tendency to humiliate her was quite remarkable, so she left him and went upstairs.

Arthur frowned; this woman had nothing in resemblance to a maid, and despite the fact that he had not
even requested her to be humble, she couldn’t even fulfill the simple request of being obedient..

It seems like he’d have to discipline her after the wedding.
